2 Special Terms and Conditions of Home Broadband Internet Access Service ( Broadband Service ) Application of the Broadband Service 1.

3 Minimum Commitment Period of the Broadband Service Plan 9. Upon expiry of the Minimum Commitment Period (as defined in the HKBN General Terms and Conditions) of the contract under any Plan, the monthly fee will be adjusted to the standard monthly fee as set out by HKBN. 10. If Subscriber terminates the subscribed Broadband Service within the Minimum Commitment Period for whatever reason, HKBN reserves the right to charge the Subscriber a stipulated standard installation fee for the Service at its own discretion. 11. If the Subscriber terminates the subscribed Broadband Service or the Plan(s) at the installation address within the Minimum Commitment Period for whatever reason, Subscriber shall pay as liquidated damages to HKBN the total amount of the special monthly fees payable for the remaining commitment period. If Subscriber terminates the Plan(s) as a result of moving to an area outside of HKBN's service coverage, the liquidated damages payable shall be calculated as the sum of the following amounts : (i) any previously waived installation charge or any difference between the standard installation fee and installation fee paid; and (ii) if applicable, pro-rata listed price of the premium which is calculated based on the remaining months of the Minimum Commitment Period (e.g. if the listed price of the premium is HK$2,400, Minimum Commitment Period is 24 months, and the Subscriber terminates the Service 6 months prior to the end of the Minimum Commitment Period, the pro-rata calculation will be as follows : HK$2,400 / 24 X 6 = ). The listed price of premium shall be the amount as set out by HKBN. Subscriber agrees that HKBN can offset the liquidated damages with prepayment (or any part thereof) of related service and Subscriber shall pay the remaining balance of liquidated damages after this offset, if applicable. The above liquidated damages are a genuine pre-estimate of loss and not a penalty charge. All offers in the Plan(s) will also be terminated. Change of Plan 12.
